Most underrated/ Forgotten IEMs.....(only IEM please)

Hello friends, I searched a little about underrated IEMs on head-fi and could not find a dedicated thread (although there are few threads for full size cans and overrated IEMs). So here is this thread. You can share the most underrated IEMs here( SQ wise, Price wise etc.)

For me it is Meelectronics SP-51 quite balanced sound and good deep bass.

Edit: I have changed the title of thread to Most underrated/ Forgotten IEMs.....(only IEM please) by taking idea from some posts. Some earphones are very well rated but as time passes by they tend to vanish from people's memory. So idea here is to find those gems again.

I feel like most of the Meelectronics are probably underrated, simply because they are so underpriced.

I would make mention of the Audiofly AF56 - it is a nice sub $100 unit with a 13mm dynamic driver that isn't bass heavy at all - it is a little thick out of the box, but opens up nicely after some use. I kinda like the cloth cord, although I know some have had issues with fraying at the plug. I haven't had any issues whatsoever - Nice sounding and very well built headphone.

I hated the microphonics on that cord :( Otherwise, it was a great headphone. I had a few fit issues as well :(

Or how it really happens on headfi most of the time, its about how many people read about those 3 people who actually got their hands on it and attest to how good the headphones that they never heard sound.

FOTM has nothing to do with how well it's rated :p LOL. It takes time, lots of time to really get that well regarded like what you'd expect. Take the new Shure for example. It's thread is huge, people are talking about it... Yet it's still unrated...
